Role playing game

We have taken quite a few good looks at the world of massively multiplayer role-playing games on the pages of this website – so why not break the cycle for a bit today, and leave the RPG behind? While most MMOs are role-playing games today, there are plenty of them that don’t involve role-playing in the gaming sense of the word. The MMO part in the acronym refers to their “massively multiplayer” nature, meaning that they can host masses of players on their servers. This is a much wider definition of the genre, involving everything from battle royale games, which have seen a massive increase in popularity since the meteoric rise of Fortnite, among others, to FPS games, racing titles, even casual games. Let’s see a few examples from each. The MMOFPS genre is pretty popular today, although not as popular than battle royale. The acronym covers first-person shooter games that can be played on servers by large numbers of players at the same time. The list of … [Read more...] about No Role-Playing: Massively Multiplayer Online Games With No RPG Involved

Hey, Diablo III. Happy Switch launch day. Happy Diablo Immortal day! (So much for that animated series rumor?) As announced during the BlizzCon opening ceremony, the Diablo franchise is getting a new entry – a “full-fledged action RPG you can play everywhere with everyone.” Yes, it’s a mobile game, it’s being built by Blizzard and NetEase, and the demo is playable right now at BlizzCon. Worth noting is that the press release calls it a “mobile massively multiplayer online action–role-playing game.” It is NOT coming to PC, but Blizzard says it’s a “true Diablo experience,” not an April Fool’s joke (the crowd cheered when the player asked this). They’re not sure there will be a “hardcore” mode. “Six iconic and highly customizable Diablo character classes will be available in Diablo Immortal—Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard—each with new powers … [Read more...] about BlizzCon 2018: Diablo Immortal is a ‘mobile massively multiplayer online action–role-playing game’

Multiplayer has steadily become the rule, as opposed the exception, when it comes to modern gaming. In our super-connected age, solo experiences alone simply don’t offer enough to keep players interested. There’s no question that adding real people to the fray offers a degree of chaos that can’t be replicated by AI and helps to make games more exciting. But MMOs have come a long way from their usual haunts in role-playing games and can now be found in a wide variety of genres that includes shooters and beyond. One of the best examples of this multiplayer mayhem can be found in Bungie’s MMO, shared-world shooter, Destiny. When Destiny was released in 2014, it was an ambitious title unlike anything anyone had ever seen. Featuring jaw-dropping graphics and first-person shooter gameplay on top of a massively multiplayer world, this was a far cry from World of Warcraft. While the game definitely had some wrinkles to iron out in the beginning, the developers have done … [Read more...] about Keeping Fans Happy is Crucial for Multiplayer Games
